Mississippi State (8-11, 0-6) couldn’t muster much offense for coach Vic Schaefer, a former Texas A&M assistant, in his first game against his old squad. The Bulldogs were 12-of-45 shooting and bested the worst offensive performances in program history by a single point — Mississippi State scored 32 points against Manhattan in 1985 and Auburn in 1986.

Texas A&M opened the game on an 11-4 run and led 39-19 at halftime. They immediately extended that lead to 54-19 to open the second half.
